    James Toney - the buffet table

    PBF - Berto (waste of time), Williams

    Cotto - Cheaters (Pac/Margarito), PBF

    Williams - PBF

    You want Williams to avoid PBF and PBF to avoid Williams. I'm confused. Which boxer do you think would win?

    Come to think of it, I think Tony Thompson would be a bad opponent for David Haye. I think his size, southpaw stance, toughness and (imo underrated) power could cause Haye big problems. It certainly wouldn't be worth it for Haye to take that fight. Not worse the risk

    I think Wlad would beat Vitali at this point, not prime for prime though. I don't agree about Foreman though, I think Vitali (in a large ring) would be too difficult for Foreman to hit- I don't think Foreman had the handspeed. I don't know what modern training and diet would do to GF but I think there are great heavyweights who cause Vitali a lot more problems than Foreman.

    Other than Wlad though, I don't see any other current heavies who will beat Vitali before he retires (assuming he retires at the end of the year)

    That's the thing. I'm not entirely certain which is why I want them to avoid each other. If Paul ever learns to fight smart the W would definitely land on his side. But for some reason I don't think he's capable of learning that.

    Isn't that all the more reason to see them fight.

    Personally I think PW spanks PBF's arse. I'd love to see that fight happen myself. If PBF is serious about his legacy, a win against PW would make his ATG legendary status unarguable.

    interesting I like the Kirkland one, but do think that Floyd can outbox, BUT he can't take a single hard shot to the head if he's gonna make it out alive.

    Timing is everything. I don't like to refer to it as "avoiding." It's an issue of picking the right opponents to work oneself up to the top. If A chooses to fight B first, it's not fair to say A is avoiding C.
